Crazy, Stupid, Love.

Cal Weaver is living the American dream. He has a good job, a beautiful house, great children and a beautiful wife, named Emily. Cal's seemingly perfect life unravels, however, when he learns that Emily has been unfaithful and wants a divorce. Over 40 and suddenly single, Cal is adrift in the fickle world of dating. Enter, Jacob Palmer, a self-styled player who takes Cal under his wing and teaches him how to be a hit with the ladies.

A warmly received romantic comedy that most critics found charming and well-cast, though opinions split sharply on whether its sweetness masks a fundamentally phony premise. The majority landed somewhere between enchanted and mildly satisfied — a handful were genuinely won over, while dissenters found it too slick and calculated to believe. Its reputation has only grown with general audiences over time, outpacing the more cautious critical consensus.
